The GFC secretary is quoted in the local paper as saying the earliest a game can be called off is tea time Friday... Guess GFC have received special dispensation to call it off on Thursday.

 

Cue outrage from Smudge.

Makes sense..the pitch is currently awash and tonight has more heavy raing and Storm 10 forecast, more rain tomorrow, not really any chance for the groundsman to make good the pitch.

Makes more sense to not prolong the inevitable!

A very sensible decision in my eyes,Guernsey has had much worse weather, than here in the U.K.

Top post Smudge!

 

Just seen the forecast for tonight... Worse than last night which was pretty bad and woke me at 4am.

 

I am taking your post at face value...

... and now the white stuff is making an appearance...

In the local papers GFC have said an early decision was made at the request of Spelthorne who had a number fans due to arrive in Guernsey today. Decision was made also consulting CCL.

At least they had a genuine excuse,will those supporters get a refund,as they surely booked in advance.Beats having the FLU.Nice to see that the C.C.L. values supporters so much.Maybe I will see a C.C.L. Rep at a game I attend soon.One can Dream.

If they have booked under the GFC umbrella (i.e. through their travel agent) they would get rebooked when the game is reschedlued as do GFC supporters travelling to the UK. I dont think you could expect GFC to cover those make their own way across as that would be open to abuse.

Common sense prevails and enough notice given so other plans for the weekend can be made. Well done everyone!
